Violations & Fines

The Association follows a three-step process whenever a violation of the Declaration, Bylaws, or Rules and Regulations is reported. Each step gives the unit owner written notice and an opportunity to correct the violation before any fine is imposed.

1. Violation Warning Letter — A written letter identifying the violation and the provision of the governing documents that applies. The owner has fourteen (14) days from the date of the letter to comply. No fine is assessed at this stage.

2. Intent to Fine Notice — If the violation is not corrected, the owner receives a written Intent to Fine Notice allowing an additional fourteen (14) days to comply, and advising that the matter will be referred to the Fining Committee.

3. Hearing Before the Fining Committee — The owner is given a meeting date and may appear before the Fining Committee. If the Committee finds in favor of the violation, a fine begins on the date of that meeting and accrues for each day thereafter until the violation is corrected, up to a maximum of $1,000.00.

Correcting the violation at any stage ends the process. Owners are responsible for violations caused by their tenants, guests, and invitees. Fines are levied in accordance with Section 718.303, Florida Statutes, and the Association’s governing documents.

Violations of the Rules and Regulations are subject to fines as determined by the Board of Administration. The Board will provide written notice of any violation. Residents have the right to a hearing before any fine is imposed. Repeated violations may result in suspension of common area privileges.
